According to his Twitter account, former Georgia State forward Ja'Heim Hudson has committed to SMU.

The 6-7 Hudson played two years at GSU. In 2022-23, he averaged 10.1 points per game (fifth on the team), and pulled down a team-leading 6.9 rebounds per game.

From his GSU bio:

I like the fact he had his most productive game against Ga Tech. Could be a nice backup for Williamson and push Sam for minutes?

Bob Lanier was the head coach at Georgia State before coming to SMU. Apparently Hudson played for him one year.

He's a "known quantity" for sure and obviously Lanier thinks he can contribute.
